Please take a look at the application to develop part of the old Gee and Garnham site on Crescent Mews into flats, applying to squeeze 14 flats into one building. The average size of the flats are below the recommended minimum size. The site had been partitioned into 4 sections this is just the first stage.

For anyone living on or near Crescent Road/Alexandra Park Road junction the increase in traffic to access the site will be another concern. The proposal is for a car free development but the deliveries/access associated with 14 new flats will add to congestion in the area.

Just to let you know that I have been meeting with the Enforcement Team and Veolia Rep to explore options to alleviate the rubbish dumping/bin provision on Crescent Road.They are happy to consider providing more bins but are still want to finish communicating with residents and putting up more signs to see if this has any positive impact.

I've just properly noticed that the deadline for comments is next Wednesday, July 26th. Shame its so soon. I've looked at the plans but what I can't work out what the average size, in square meters of each dwelling is. Perhaps I've overlooked a key document?

I've put in an objection to the plan - due to the fact that each of the 'flats' are around 20 sqm - which is literally a bedsit - one of those places where you can cook from your bed. It's really not an appropriate use of the space and won't deliver good quality housing stock.

You can comment on the application until 11th August, so I would recommend putting in an objection to the plans for the area.
